RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) is a common complication after posterior fossa tumor resection. It is characterized by a significant lack or loss of speech. Its biological origin remains unclear and there are no standardized treatments. However, bromocriptine seems to be a possible treatment for this condition. CASE REPORT: In this paper, we present three cases of pediatric patients (4, 5, and 17-year old) who developed CMS after posterior fossa tumor surgery. They were treated with bromocriptine to improve neurological symptoms.Management and outcome: Bromocriptine was started at a low dose and was progressively increased to reach the minimum effective dose. After four months of treatment, a normal and fluid speech was observed in the three patients. No discontinuation due to adverse events were reported. DISCUSSION: Bromocriptine has shown to be an effective and safe treatment for CMS in pediatric patients after posterior fossa tumor resection.
